Man, woman identified after police badge possibly stolen outside West Chester bar: officials
WEST CHESTER, Pa. - West Chester police have identified the individuals sought in the week-long search for a missing police badge.
Police say an officer lost his badge during a struggle with an armed person in front of Kildare's Irish Pub on West Gay Street in West Chester last weekend.
It fell off his uniform, and landed on a nearby sidewalk. It has yet to be located.

Last week, police asked for the public's help to find the badge with this warning: "Should the badge be found in anyone's possession at a later date, criminal charges may be warranted."
On Monday, they released photos of a man and woman they would "like to identify and speak with" in connection to the "missing/stolen" badge.
As of Monday afternoon, police say the two people sought have since been identified.
